so for the office you prefer high quality results

but for something you took the time and effort to film yourself you prefer 1990 technology, interesting

Granted alot of people use h264 and divx at lower bitrate to create super small file sizes but the reality is that at a bitrate of 2000kbps or higher in h264 and divx you are getting MUCH better than DVD quality results in 1/4 the file size of DVD mpeg2

Granted a DVD at 8000kbps with Lpcm is going to look good, but for a 2 hour show that means something like 9 gigs

I just did a 2h14m show in divx at a bitrate of 2700kbps video, 224kbps mp3 audio and it is 2.65 gigs and will play in a divx compatible DVD player and in virtually DV quality

I will be torrenting it here and on u2torrents this weekend, you should take a look
